Watch: Michael Jackson's son Prince Michael lands first job on TV

Michael Jackson's oldest child Prince Michael is following in his late father's footsteps by entering the world of showbiz.

Michael Jackson's oldest child Prince Michael is following in his late father's footsteps by entering the world of showbiz.

The 16-year-old, who has previously been kept out of the media spotlight, has scored his first job as guest correspondent on gossip show Entertainment Tonight. Watch him in his first ET promo above — he's growing up so fast!

Check out his super-cute awkwardness when he meets his first interview subjects: James Franco and his Oz The Great and Powerful co-star Zach Braff and director Sam Raimi. Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks? Okay, he's 16, not six, maybe that's going a bit overboard.

Prince got the job after sharing a "mutual connection" with current ET correspondent Brooke Anderson, who told the LA Times that Prince wants to pursue a career in producing and directing.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet — Prince is still at school, and filmed his Oz interview on a weekend. Sure beats maths tutoring!

The ET gig isn't a permanent one, but Prince is likely to return on a "case-by-case" basis, Anderson says, for special kids' events like the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in March.

"The fact that he's the King of Pop's son may crack the door open for him, but he has a wisdom about him," Anderson told the LA Times. "He said, 'I owe that all to my dad'."

Prince isn't the only Jackson sibling to try their hand at a showbiz job. His 14-year-old sister Paris will make her movie debut in the fantasy film Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys. Paris is also a budding musician, as shown in these latest pictures she posted on Twitter on Sunday.

"#bass #jammin #music," Paris tweeted. Images: Paris Jackson/Twitter.

Nine-year-old Prince "Blanket" Michael II is yet to start an entertainment career. Whatever he does, he'll be in more than a few Jacksons' shadows! Let's also hope that he doesn't end up in a fight with Aunty Janet, like Paris did last year (see TMZ footage below).
